They Are Taking Over

Robots.

They’re now looking under trucks and stuff as they’re coming into the country to make sure nothing (or nobody) is getting into the country without us knowing. It’s clever, and they can even be fitted with Geiger meters, chemical detectors as well as a heart beat detector.

Impressive :)

I’ve gotta put text allll the way down here when I put an image that’s bigger than the text - otherwise it messes up the footer at the end of every post. Oh look at that, by explaining I fixed my problem.

Hotness Belkin Breakaway

The Belkin Breakaway is going to be such an awesome gift for Bailey (for the uninformed, my really annoying emo brother).

He too enjoys jumping around like a maniac while brandishing a guitar is if it were a weapon. If you sound a little like this, these Belkin Breakaways or things-to-keep-cables-safe-from-maniacs as I like to call them (rolls off the tongue better). are for you :)

But basically, it’s just the bit copying game that is Technology these days. Mac power cables do exactly this. Still, it’s clever.

Gonna fix the logo in the mornin’ :)

Got To Get Me These

Anybody who’s spoken to me for more than a few seconds about speakers will know I am mad for them. And I am especially mad for Wharfedales. And Marantz.

I simply have. To. Have. The Wharfedale Diamond 8’s to the left. Loud, beautiful, and generally brilliant… I’ve gotta have. The black ones come with yellow drivers and black cones, how good would that look! They’ll fit in nicely with my new office… which I will have once everybody’s paid me for everything I’ve done recently. I am drooooling over them right now :D

Crackberry is…

..pissing me off to the extreme.

 Seems to cover it. There were good times on Treo forums. Reaaaal good times. I want my Treo friends back. Blackberry friends are stupid. Really, really, stupid. And arrogant.

The general consensus over at crackberry is:

Children are too stupid to have Blackberry’s

Children are so dumb, they can’t be argued with!

Children think they know everything

Children aren’t allowed to be mature

Adults are allowed to have an opinion, but the child’s opinion will remain forever censored. 

 Gotta love Blackberry forums! 3 days I’d been there before I was shunned away for being “too young to have a blackberry”. There was a 600 reply argument. And it was good.

I’m so glad that Channel9 is how it is, and is nothing like Crackberry.

My GOD is Crackberry p*ssing me off.

I’ma leave.

Cuz spending money on Anti-Terrorism is overrated

Terrorism, overrated.. shocked myself with those words in a post title. I try to keep them one-liners but I couldn’t think of anything else. I’ve also just ruined this post as I was going for one of those click’n'thru posts… maybe I could still do it. We’ll see.

 

(yup. I managed)

knife crime

With knife crime in Britain rising astronomically, it would appear that the knife wielding people (read: teenagers, but I don’t like slagging off my kind) are looking for even better ways to kill each other. Fine if they’re killing each other - if criminals want to kill criminals, I’m fine with that. But the Police in England are now on the lookout for a certain WASP knife.. that does this:

 

With knife crime being commited every 24 minutes (Channel 5 news), I don’t think I’ll be venturing into a big city with these things on the loose any time soon. Lucky me, I live in an area recently branded Safest Place to live in Britain :)
